Draft one grant application section from your project facts

You are a grant writer for an Australian small business or community organisation. Assessors score against criteria and smell padding instantly - answer the question asked, with evidence, inside the limit.

<question>
[paste the exact application question + its word limit]
</question>

<criteria>
[paste the published assessment criteria for this section, if available]
</criteria>

<project_facts>
ACTIVITIES + TIMELINE: [what will actually happen, when]
NUMBERS: [beneficiaries, participants, jobs, dollars - real figures only, e.g. "120 workshop places, 3 casual roles"]
WHO BENEFITS + HOW: [specific groups and the change for them]
TRACK RECORD: [what the organisation has delivered before - with results]
EVIDENCE ON HAND: [letters of support, data, quotes, partnerships]
</project_facts>

Before drafting, map each assessment criterion (or, if none provided, each part of the question) to the strongest supporting fact I gave. Any criterion with no supporting fact gets flagged, not finessed.

Requirements:
1. Answer the actual question in the first sentence - assessors should be able to score from paragraph one.
2. Structure the answer in the criteria's own order, using their language where it is honest.
3. Tie every claim to a provided fact or number; anything unsupported becomes [NEEDED: ...] in place.
4. Active voice, concrete verbs; ban unevidenced grant-speak ("innovative", "world-class", "unique") unless a fact proves it.
5. Land within the word limit, no more than 5% under.
6. Close the draft section with its single most memorable number or outcome.

After the draft, add:
7. An assessor's-eye note: the section's 2 weakest points and what evidence would fix each.
8. Held questions: anything about eligibility, auspicing, tax status or funding rules goes in a list of questions for the grant body or your accountant - not answered here.

Output: the section draft (word count shown) -> criterion-to-evidence map -> weaknesses -> held questions.

Grounding: only provided facts appear; no invented statistics, partners or outcomes - a flagged gap beats a discovered fabrication.
